You can use any client you want guys . Lemmy wins
Probably the first comment that doesn’t bash on anyone since this whole thing started.
Lemmy winks ?
Don’t forget Connect! It’s probably the most complete Lemmy app right now. The “About Instance” function is amazing for getting a list of communities on a given instance with actual working links for subscribing.
For folks curious, [email protected] is the Infinity fork community. Dev is quite active :).
Using Connect:
Have a link? Is it open source?
It is not open source. Apparently the creator is considering making it open source once he’s cleaned up the code a bit. For whatever that’s worth.
Not open source, I’m out then.
I honestly don’t get the “gotta clean up the code first” stance. Like sure, you don’t want to publish complete spaghetti code without comments. But like, it can’t be that bad right?
Besides, the point of open source is collaboration and so he doesn’t have to do all the “clean up” by himself.Yeah, I totally agree. I suspect that some people use it as an excuse because they don’t actually want to publish the code.
I feel it’s used as a minipulation tactic.
- FOSS people don’t want to use closed source software.
- Lie and say you’ll “consider” open source-ing later even though you have no intention of ever doing so.
- Profit.
It’s not FOSS but it’s currently free and without ads.
Here’s a play store link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect
Voyager (now as native app) 👨🍳😙👌
Voyager is nice, but since it’s a native app I can’t download pictures anymore, so I switched to infinity and got used to it…
Yea the only way to do it from Voyagers native app right now is to open the link in your browser. You can hit the share button on Voyager and send the post link to your browser.
This feature can still be added to native apps. RiF used to have a simple hold and save feature. I hope they add that feature soon. I imagine we aren’t the only ones who noticed.
Yup, feels like Apollo before 😊
Wait, what’s wrong with Jerboa? I’m using Jerboa and it’s been great so far
Jerboa doesn’t autoplay gifs (or didn’t when I used it), that what made me stick to liftoff and I don’t regret it.
It kept crashing randomly for me.
I tried all the apps I memed out at some point or another (and we’re all Reddit refugees I presume).
I had frequent stability issues with Jerboa, switched to liftoff, which was far more stable. UI wasn’t the prettiest, but reasonably nice. Gave sync a brief spin, wasn’t very impressed, and ads/data collection wasn’t appealing. I stuck to liftoff till I found infinity had been ported to lemmy.
I’d used infinity for Reddit for years, same experience on Lemmy now, loving it!
I’m still waiting for Boost for Lemmy to come out. Maybe I’ll try Infinity though if it’s a great as you say
it wouldn’t let me post comments
Ah man. Infinity just hits different.
How many posts on this topics are gonna be, can’t we put this to rest???
Welcome to the lemmy apps great war
Was using infinity on Reddit and was waiting for a good fork for lemmy. Really feels like home now.
Same. Liftoff was/is a great backup though!
Android only FYI anyone looking for “infinity”
I am on android, and it isn’t in my app store either.
https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/eu.toldi.infinityforlemmy it’s available on f-droid, not the play store.
I’m stuck on phase two. Digging it, though.
Infinity makes me feel like nothing has changed
liftoff and infinity are great
Depending on who I ask here, Sync is either a caveman brained or enlightened choice.
For those of us that have used Sync for a long time it has a lot of ui/ux options and we know how to find them.
I am in love with infinity too. Only problem I have, it lacks some Lemmy features, adding pictures to comments or showing down votes etc.
Liftoff & Voyager are my companions.
Infinity for Lemmy is out already? If that’s true, you won’t have to wait too long for all the features you want.
I’ll stick with Connect, thank you.
How does Infinity compare to Sync ? I’m considering switching clients since my having paid for Reddit Sync Pro does not entitle me to Lemmy Sync’s “remove ads” (I still have to pay 16e, which is way too much).
I wasn’t very impressed with sync when I tried it out after all the hype: maybe because I’ve been a long time infinity user. I can’t give a fair comparison since I haven’t given sync too much of a chance, but here’s what I like about infinity:
- FOSS, on fdroid (fdroid >> play store for me)
- nice UI - adjustable font sizes, top comment scrolling
- multiple account support
- dark mode is pretty dark (yeah, I really like dark mode)
- fairly stable
Thanks for taking the time to write this. I’ll give it a shot
